Chapter 1042


    “Ms. Zoe said she and Young Madam were ssmates in junior high school, and their rtionship was quite good back then.


    She also


    said that she’s realized her mistakes from before and regrets her


    selfish behavior. That’s why she came today to talk to Young Madam in person to ask for her forgiveness.”


    “And you believed her?” Ryan coldly countered.


    Yasmin simply replied, “I didn’t let her in.”


    “So, just because you didn’t let her in, she resorted to violence against


    you?”


    Yasmin remained silent.


    “Hmph! All that nonsense she spouted is nothing but crap!”


    Ryan took a deep breath, suppressing his almost explosive anger. It’s obvious that Zoe’s visit today was an act to y both


    sides. Did


    Shannon be her godmother?”


    Yasmin could only chuckle in resignation, feeling helpless.


    “Yasmin, you were caught in the middle of me and my sister, and had


    to help me take care of my wife. | apologize for putting you in this


    position.”


    Ryan sighed with a tinge of guilt. “Starting tomorrow, take some time off. I''ll stay with Carrie. Didn’t you enjoy traveling? You can


    take my ck card and treat yourself.”


    “You''re being too generous. I’m your subordinate and all of this is part of my responsibility.”


    Yasmin remainedposed, but a wave of warmth flowed straight into the depths of her heart, filling it to the brim.


    Ryan tiptoed into the bedroom.


    He dared not turn on the lights or wear shoes, afraid that the slightest noise would wake Carrie. He approached his petite


    woman, who was curled up on the bed, as if he were a thief.


    The moonlight cast shadows on the wall, giving him the appearance of a big, bad wolf sneaking up on a little white rabbit.


    Standing by the bed, Ryan’s tall figure loomed over Carrie’s small frame. He gazed at her intently for a long time before leaning


    down to lightly kiss her tender lips.


    m home, darling. Get some rest. | wille by again in the


    morning.’


    As Ryan turned to leave, he felt a pair of delicate arms wrap t


    around his waist.


    “Carrie...” Ryan’s heart trembled violently.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    Carrie, her eyes brimming with tears, clung to him. She choked out


    sobs. “Ryan, you''re finally back. Why were you gone for so long? |


    thought you wouldn’te back. | thought you didn’t want me


    anymore.”


    As she spoke, tears streamed down her cheeks, hitting the man’s sturdy back like a hammer, almost piercing through his heart.


    It turned out that Carrie had been awake all along.


    She just could not be sure if her beloved had returned or if she was merely dreaming.


    Ryan turned around, embracing his tear-streaked girlfriend deeply. His hands cradled the back of her hand, and his fingers


    rustled through her soft hair, as if he wanted to meld her into himself.


    “You silly girl. | would rather be

    Ryan took a deep breath and nodded. “Yeah, your good friend, that kind girl, can rest in peace now.”


    Carrie sped her hands together, offering a prayer for Linny.
